Wagga received up to 11.2mm of rainfall overnight to 9am on Sunday. But, the wildest weather hit the north-west of the region with Yanco seeing a 49mm drenching, while Narrandera felt 40mm of rain.
State Emergency Service (SES) units responded to two call outs - one a car crash near Carathool, and the other a fallen tree in Tumut - when the worst of the weather hit on Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Up to 25mm fell around Burrinjuck Dam and Deniliquin, while Griffith saw 16mm, Kapooka measured 15mm and Junee received 10mm.
The lightest falls hit the southern region. Albury saw 7.6mm, Batlow received 7.4mm and Hay felt only 1.8mm.
A surface trough over inland NSW is bringing a risk of severe thunderstorms will remain in place for the remainder of the weekend and into the week.
Currently, there is significant thunderstorm activity in the Central West region.
Heavy rainfall, flash flooding and potentially damaging winds could be felt around the area.
On Sunday afternoon in Wagga, winds were already reaching up to 40km/hr.
"Those easterly winds are bringing in a lot of moisture," said David Wilkie, duty forecaster for the Bureau of Meteorology.
Between Sunday night and Wednesday, some areas of the Riverina may see up to 40mm in rainfall as storms continue to develop.
Monday is more likely to see moderate conditions develop, with rainfall ranging between 5-15mm.
"On Wednesday the risk for heavier rains will be in the south west slopes area, but there's still a couple of days until that so we will be watching to see what could happen," Mr Wilkie said.
